Judging from a lack of response to @vitti92, im not sure this thread is still active ... but hey ho, who knows? anyway ...
Trying to run PA as a live disc on virtualbox which is a host running on Windows 7 64, get as far as videowizard, select x.org, then it goes black, and that, is that. If I select vesa, goes grey, and that is that.
Anyone got any ideas at all? Thanks

Hello,
The framebuffer menu xorgwizard uses doesnt
show up in Vbox! It functions, but does not display.
Repeatedly pressing enter will get you a 640x480
screen. Memorizing the correct # of "down arrows"
before "enter" can select a proper resolution.
Xvesa should work. Idk why you get grey screen.
Try "enter" a few times!_________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

I have not seen many complains about a dead network connection, but I have tried Puppy Arcade 10 with a a few computers and keep getting no eth0 device at all. I assume this is due to missing drivers and computers that might be too new (although I tried one that is a few years old). Is there any advice on how to find the needed drivers and install them? I am hoping for a description of this process rather than being asked to give the specific details of the hardware I am using. This would then give insight into how all this works.

I am no expert AT ALL on this, but in short, you load the pup4 devx, then load the kernel sources (http://akita.scottjarvis.com/kernel-src-2.6.25.16-patched-420.sfs should be fine) ... get the source of your drivers ... then open ROX, then unzip the source, go into the source directory, hit the ` key (left of 1, above TAB) to open a terminal, then you compile the drivers with something like

Code:

./configure
make
make install

... here are a few posts where people get the kind of advice you're after .... (see its previous page too)

xorg_xorg_dri_full in the puppy4 repo should be the one...

Sorry, but could you link me to where I could find the download for that please

Like all puppies, Puppy Arcade includes a package manager, so you can easily install extra stuff like .PET packages and so on...

NOTE: the xorg_xorg_dri package above is in the repo, so therefore it is also listed in the package manager... You [edit]*don't*[/edit] need a browser to install it - just open up the package manager and look for it there.._________________Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search

I tried using this, but mupen64 still gave me the "the core thread recieved a ssgiev signal" error, can you reccomend anything else
P.S. the computer that I run puppy arcade on doesn't have internet capabilities

Open up HardInfo, in the System menu, and check the graphics page, see if you have Direct Rendering enabled... You need it ... If it is not... You would need other graphics drivers, or load up the required one (using xorgwizard') if its already installed...

unzip it, and put all the files straight into the plugins folder in /usr/local/mupen64plus-1.5/plugins/ ...

you can probably replace any in there... but make a back up first... to do this, just copy the 'plugins' folder to 'plugins_backup' (or whatever), and then put all the new files in 'plugins' ... if anything goes wrong, you can get them old files back out of 'plugins_backup' ..

.. Obviously, after you replace or add the plugins, you will need to open mupen64plus and then change the gfx plugin to whatever other ones you want to test...
